Also, it sounds like an actual leak and is more pronounced on the drivers side. I replaced 3 mounts earlier on this year with p/urethaned mounts but after getting them put on, vibrations were a lot more pronounced. I have decided to go with new oem ones without anything done to them as I think this might have also caused this problem. i'm going to get a small mirror extension thingy tomorrow to look more closely at it and then possibly get a second and third opinion to confirm what exactly it is. But i am definite there is a leak as it is pretty loud and obvious. one more thing: when you say exhaust hangers, do you mean the rear muffler hangers or the ones by the cat underneath? The ones by the cat are fine though because i replaced my O2 sensor not too long ago and they looked fine...
